Join curatorial assistant Hina Zaidi for an insider look of the Power Women rotation in the Asian galleries which explores the ways art can help us to look critically at the social standards to which women have been held. Zaidi discusses this new rotation and the ways these works illustrate some of the many roles women play, not only as passive subjects, but also as active contributors to history.
